  • The article discusses a 1574 portrait of English poet-courtier Sit Philip Sidney by Italian artist Paolo Veronese. The author suggests that Sidney sat for the portrait while traveling in Europe and traces the record of the painting in written sources, including evidence that the portrait was acquired by diplomat Hubert Languet and later by Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester who displayed it at Leicester House in London, England in the 1580s. Also discussed is correspondence between Sidney and Languet.
